The Music of the Future
Langue : Anglais
Auteur : BARRY Robert
Charles Fourier imagined a whole society structured by music. Hector
Berlioz wrote science fiction. Hugo Gernsback looked forward to telematic
operas. John Cage imagined an infinite sound palette. But where are
today’s musical futurists? The Music of the Future is not a
book of predictions or speculations about how to save the music business
or the bleeding edge of technologies. Rather, is is more like a history of
failures, mapping 200 years of attempts by composers, performers and
critics to imagine a future for music. Encompassing utopian dream cities,
temporal dislocations and projects for the emancipation of all sounds, The
Music of the Future is finally a sort of call to arms for everyone
engaged in music: to fail again, fail better.
Robert Barry is a freelance writer and composer, based in London
